Summary
Jacob Evans is a Senior DevOps Engineer based in Hamburg with 11 years of experience building and operating cloud-native infrastructure and backend systems. He has led AWS CDK-managed deployments, migrated legacy Java services to TypeScript serverless architectures, and designed CI/CD pipelines that improved developer velocity and production reliability. Jacob pairs hands-on scripting and Linux expertise with a focus on automation, observability (Datadog), and reproducible developer environments that let teams test in production-like systems. His background spans greenfield architecture work, monorepo consolidation with NX, and moving multi-account AWS setups into production-grade configurations. A former full-stack instructor who built custom training programs for displaced developers, he brings a pragmatic teaching mindset to onboarding and developer experience. Outside work he’s a Linux enthusiast and self-described beer nerd, which hints at a practical, detail-oriented approach to engineering and culture.
